Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please advise on how to treat severe nighttime coughing in an eight-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are quite numerous and can be clinically categorized into infectious and non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common. Common infectious causes include colds. It is essential to first identify the cause of the fever and treat it accordingly. High temperatures can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is necessary to control the body temperature. This is primarily achieved through medication and physical cooling methods. Specific medications should ideally be used under the guidance of a doctor.
